Topic1 Telecom Carriers Told to Cut Marketing Costs
The Chinese government has told the country's three leading carriers that they need to cut phone subsidies and advertising3costs by 20% within the next three years.

The cut in spending is estimated to reach a combined 40 billion yuan.

How is it going to affect the country's telecom industry and mobile users?

Why the cut?

Topic2 Mineral water companies building more Changbai Mountain plants
Major domestic mineral and purified water producers are busy building more water plants in a small county at the foot of Changbai Mountain which is rich in pure water resources. They're doing this in order to grab a big slice of the Chinese bottle water market.

Is there a heated competition?

Topic3 Roast duck museum in Beijing
Beijing has dozens of museums, but the latest museum to join its ranks is a particularly distinctive one: It's devoted exclusively to roast duck.

A downtown location of Quanjude — a restaurant chain famous for its rendition of lacquered Peking duck — has opened a museum in the dish's honor this week.

The museum's opening was timed to coincide with the restaurant's 150th anniversary.

Would you fancy a visit?

Topic4 606 institutions managing provident fund
Xinhua reporters recently surveyed 16 cities and found that, China has 606 institutions to manage the housing provident fund at all levels. And every institution has to spend several million yuan to upgrade and maintain their management systems. But even with such a huge cost, there still isn't any national integrated network for the fund.

Is it a big problem?

Topic5 Relics in Ancient Tombs
In movies, we always see people bury their treasure underground and dig it out when they need it. However, in the real world, the treasures that your ancestors buried may no longer be recognized as yours.

A Chinese court has ruled that antiques recovered from a tomb cannot be returned to their original owner's descendants because they belong to the state.

Does this make sense?

Topic6 Physical Test Related to Graduation
Now we have bad news for college students. If you are not athletic enough, you may not be able to get your diploma.

Earlier this week, the Ministry of Education issues a new rule, stipulating that senior students who fail the physical test can just get their graduation certification, but not a diploma.

Is it a good idea?
